When I finished my class with Riya, we walked towards the canteen only to see Ezhil and his group of friends sitting in a circle with bruises on their face. I felt my heart hurt seeing Ezhil like this and I didn't even know the reason for it. "What on earth happen to them?" Riya said with shock but I could hear a hint of concern in her voice.

We both rushed towards them and my heart instantly squeezed seeing Ezhil in pain. I quickly sat next to him and started to apply medicine to his bruise. I could feel my cheeks heat up due to his stare. His eyes didn't once move away from my face. I mentally smiled when his lips lifted up in a smile but that soon ended when his friend Aliya came and pushed me away from him.

I felt hurt being away from him but I shrugged it off. I wasn't even close to him, we were just classmates right?.

I could see the pain and worry in Aliya's eyes. Maybe the two were in a relationship?. "E-eyshana?" Ezhil called out making me shocked. "Thank You" he said making me smile. I felt a stare on my face and I looked at Aliya who was giving me a glare. My smile died down as I looked away from her. "Um...take care....I have class to attend" I quickly said and pulled Riya along with me who weirdly had her eyes stuck on Sunny for some apparent reason.

"Riya" I called out but it was like she was stuck in her small world. "Riya" I nudged her only for her to jump in surprise. "Huh?...Did you say something?" she asked confused. I frowned and placed my hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay Riya?" I asked in concern. She smiled and laughed "Yeah sis....don't worry" she wrapped her arm around my shoulder as we entered class.

**********************************************************************************

"Okay class....remember to do your homework or else detention" the teacher said in a strict tone. Once the bell rang everyone fled the room while I continued to pack my things. "Riya listen....I need to return a book to the library...you order our food and I will come soon" I spoke. "Ok no problem but be quick....I don't like being alone with them" she said making me chuckle. I mean they aren't that bad right?.

I left her and started making my way to the library. I walked towards the librarian with a smile. "Hi...I wanted to return this book" I said kindly. She smiled, "Of course my dear" she replied. After returning my book, I looked at my watch and cursed under my breath. Riya is going to kill me....it's literally been 20 minutes. As I was half way through reaching the canteen, my feet stopped as my heart tightened in unknown pain.

"Mmm" a girl moaned as she tugged onto Ezhil's hair. He grabbed her ass and started to kiss her deeply, pushing her against the wall. He wasn't my boyfriend neither my husband so why was I feeling so hurt, hell we didn't even know each other that much. My tears betrayed me as they started to fall out of my eyes. I wiped them and decided to ignore the two and walk past them. The closer I got the harder it became for me. One I reached him, his body became stiff as he broke the kiss.

His eyes locked in with mine, shock shown on his face. I was confused why he was so shocked?. I ignored him and continued walking until I heard him call for me. "EYSHANA!...EYSHANA WAIT...PLEASE", he yelled but I didn't listen.

I continued walking until a hand grabbed my wrist, turning me around. I gasped as I bumped into a hard chest. I slowly looked up only to Ezhil looking at with fear?

"I'm sorry you had to see that....It's...it's not what it looks like, it-"

"It's okay Ezhil...I didn't ask for any explanation. It's your life....who am I to intervene" I said calmly. His mouth opened and then shut continuously like a fish. It was like he wanted to say something but he didn't know how too. I sighed and was about to walk away when he stopped me again. "Listen...I.." he stopped and sighed, running his hand through his already messy hair. "She...she was my ex and she forced her lips on mine"

'Yeah that's why you grabbed her ass and were enjoying kissing her', I mentally mocked. "Okay" I said with a fake smile. He looked annoyed at my reaction to which I didn't understand. "Where are you heading to?" he asked wanting to create conversation. "To the canteen" I replied. "Oh...then let's go together....they must be waiting for us" he said as he grabbed my hand and dragged me to the canteen. I felt sparks when his skin touched mine. I looked down at my hands wanting to tear my hand away but also wanted to enjoy the warmth.

What the hell was wrong with me?

He was a playboy...no...no...he was a man-whore. Why would a guy like him want to befriend me?....does he also want to use me like those other girls. Oh no.

I really hate playboys....like a lot but for some reason I saw something in Ezhil that made me attracted to him. I need to keep distance from him....I don't want to get hurt by him or his friends. I know his friends don't like me and Riya....maybe we weren't meant to be friends.

"Omg look....she has been here like for like what?....3 weeks? and she already has Ezhil wrapped around her finger like what a bitch" a girl whispered to her friend with attitude and sass. I would be lying if I said her words didn't hurt me. Her words stung me like a wasp.

Maybe it would be better if I stayed away.......
